Oracle Contract Lifecycle Management for Public Sector: Improper access control
Summary
Oracle Contract Lifecycle Management for Public Sector, part of Oracle E-Business Suite (component Award/PO), is affected in versions 12.2.3 to 12.2.15. An attacker with a low-privilege account and network access via HTTP can create, modify or delete critical data and gain access to all data the product can reach, according to the CNA record (CVSS 3.1 base score 8.1). No user interaction is required, but the attacker needs a valid user account.
Affected
- Oracle Contract Lifecycle Management for Public Sector (Oracle E-Business Suite, component Award/PO)
- Supported versions 12.2.3 to 12.2.15
Fixed in
Unknown. The fixed build could not be confirmed. Check the Oracle October 2026 Critical Patch Update advisory (E-Business Suite section) for this CVE.
Workaround
- Unknown from vendor sources.
- Until a patch is verified: restrict HTTP access to the application to internal or trusted networks (own recommendation, not a vendor statement).
Exploitation
- No known exploitation in the wild. No CISA KEV entry found as of 1 Nov 2026.
- No public proof of concept found.
- Do not confuse this with CVE-2026-101767 (Application Object Library), a different issue that has been reported as exploited.
Our recommendation
- Check whether this module is in use and whether the EBS instance is reachable from the internet.
- If it is in use, apply the October 2026 Critical Patch Update as a priority once the fix is confirmed in the Oracle advisory.
- If it is not in use, the priority is low; confirm the product mapping first.
- Monitor HTTP access logs for unusual activity and re-check CISA KEV and vendor updates.
Public exploits
PoC-in-GitHub, Metasploit and Exploit-DB list nothing for this CVE.
